Answer 2

I used to meet this situation. Mcafee Enterprise can not scan all the serious virus.
Now you sould try to scan your computer with the other program.
The program that I suggest you is kaspersky.It's the best program that I ever seen.http://www.kaspersky.com/downloads But before you scan you should update this program and after that disconnect yyour computer(put off network cable). I hope these can help you.
If it can't, the other help is resetup you window.

Hmmm...sounds like the W32.Rontokbro@mm worm which replicates itself into folders. You may remove it using the latest McAfee VirusScan. Afterwards, make sure you scan not only your hard drive for the worm, but your other drives (portable USB drives or other optical drives) as well, just to make sure it doesn't manifest itself again.

1st attempt to locate the call of virus and the technique that is going on in job supervisor... and end the technique than set up the anti virus . in case you're no longer able to try this, than pass to risk-free mode and take a inspect to place in anti virus... if the situation non-provide up than format the window and set up the anti virus i'm hoping my help is useful to you :)

Answer 6

i'd take of the info you want to keep and do complete wipe and set up again as you can't just patch job it as doesn't always work and you end up with same prob again which could get worse as you haven't removed the virus if you patch job it.

Answer 7

Why not try other antivirus? If an antivirus seems not good enough then try another.
